The annual dropout and migration statistics report of the District of Columbia public schools reflects the guidelines, definitions, and tracking procedures of the District schools. School year 1991-92 was the third year of implementation of the present dropout-accounting system. The report contains dropout and migration statistics for student leavers in secondary grades only. The systemwide dropout rate for grades 7-12 was 8.23 percent, which reflected a slight decline from the previous school year. In proportion to their membership totals, Hispanic students had the highest dropout rate and were followed by African Americans, although the 1991-92 figures represent a dramatic decline in the dropout rate for Hispanic students that was due primarily to shifts in the adult-age population of Hispanic students. Male students dropped out at a slightly higher rate than female students. Slightly more than one-quarter of the students were below the legal dropout age. The dropout rate was highest for students in alternative schools. The out-of-city migration rate was 2.04 percent, which represents a slight decline from the previous year. Five tables present rates and statistics. An appendix provides supplemental information on rates and on the individual public schools. (SLD)
